A few weeks ago I discovered the True North Salmon Company – a North American company that sells hormone & antibiotic-free, sustainably caught, farmed Atlantic salmon. I was really excited about this because Atlantic salmon is my favourite (its the really thick, juicy kind), but unfortunately most farmed Atlantic salmon is treated with hormones & antibiotics on […]

I absolutely love the weather right now. If you live in Southern Ontario you’ll know what I’m talking about. It’s been in the mid-twenties and sunny for days, and I don’t think anybody can quite believe it. Most people are outside enjoying the weather except for the poor allergy sufferers. My husband has seasonal allergies, […]

What do you get when you combine black beans, chia seeds & organic sweet potato baby food? A chocolate dessert that is not only healthy, but so delicious. I know, it doesn’t sound appetizing, but I’ve made it twice already and trust me, it’s a keeper. If you love chocolate, ice cream, pudding, fudge or truffles […]

Having spent the last 2 years studying nutrition I’ve realized that my opinions on certain topics have changed. One topic in particular is whether or not people should take vitamins or supplements on a regular basis. Here’s my opinion on the subject: If you eat a healthy diet 80% of the time – that would be a variety of […]

Sorry for the break in posts. It’s been a little crazy this week trying to organize the contents of our life that is scattered everywhere in my parent’s basement. Even though we rented our condo fully furnished there is still a lot of stuff to pack! We move back into our place in downtown Toronto […]

You’ve probably heard that you should be getting enough Omega-3, but do you really know what it’s benefits are? Last night we made a delicious dinner that was definitely high in Omega-3: Baked Salmon with a delicious soy ginger garlic marinade and polenta. Before I give you the recipe, you first have to learn a […]

It’s been one year since I started my nutrition course, and I’m almost half-way through the course materials. I started thinking about what I’ve learned over the past year, and how it’s affected me, when John came back with some groceries the other night. His food choices made me realize that I’m not the only […]

Photo Source John and I were at the St. Lawrence Market this past Saturday picking up some wild salmon for dinner, a yummy cheese to pair with Pinot Noir, and some chia seeds (we seem to be going through a lot of these little suckers lately). When we were scooping out our chia seeds, a customer […]

As you’ve probably noticed, I’m not posting as much as I normally do. That’s because work & life are crazy busy, and unfortunately that means my nutrition studies and my blog get put on the back burner. Being busy is a funny thing because there’s a fine line you cross when your busyness (is that […]
